Bring The Greatest Show On Earth from the Big Top to under your roof top.

New York, NY - Ladies and gentleman, children of all ages, 2K Play and Feld Entertainment today proudly announce that Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, the ultimate circus experience for Wii, is now available at retailers across North America. This holiday season, Ringling Bros. circus fans can get into the act and perform jaw-dropping stunts, breath-taking acrobatics and even "clown around" under the Big Top with their family and friends. For players out and about who are looking for circus fun, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey: Circus Friends Asian Elephants is now available for Nintendo DS.

"The interactive world of Wii and Nintendo DS allows circus fans to experience the wonderment and spectacle of Ringling Bros. in an exciting new way that takes them from spectator to performer," said Nicole Feld, Ringling Bros. producer and Feld Entertainment Executive Vice President.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey for Wii features more than 40 action-packed games that test the circus skills of even the most highly trained professionals. Gamers can soar through the air as a human cannonball, perform with magnificent Bengal tigers, defy gravity on a motorcycle in the Spherical Miracle, dazzle the crowd with aerial acrobatics, and dance with an exotic Asian elephant. Only the best will become certified to perform in front of thousands in the exciting ZING ZANG ZOOM and Barnum's FUNundrum show venues!

"Precision and concentration are important if players want to make it to the Big Top in this new game," said Daniel Raffo, a fifth-generation Ringling Bros. performer, who has presented tigers for over 25 years. "It doesn't hurt to have courage either, especially when those felines get feisty."

"While the big cats get your adrenaline rushing, you can only experience real exhilaration by soaring 50 feet above the arena floor," added George Caceres, the youngest Ringling Bros. performer ever to catch a triple somersault. "To triumph on the trapeze in this game, you need grace and impeccable timing."

"The trapeze does seem to require some skill," said Dustin Portillo, Boss Clown with the infamous Ringling Bros. Clown Alley. "However, there is a true science to taking a cream pie to the face and you can master that playing Ringling Bros. and Barnum & BaileyTM for Wii."

Also in stores today, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey: Circus Friends Asian Elephants for Nintendo DS, gives pachyderm enthusiasts the ability to care for their very own Asian elephant. Gamers must ensure their playful pal eats well, stays clean and healthy, and gets daily exercise. Once the proper training program has been implemented, their circus friend can star and show off in The Greatest Show on Earth™!

Through an exclusive license with Feld Entertainment, 2K Play will market the games at select performances of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. Ticketholders will receive promotional information about the games at the arena and colorful point-of-sales displays will highlight the game features.
